Many appreciate the hot tub and mountain or waterfall views, while the sauna is often unavailable. On-site staffing is minimal due to self check-in, and several guests reported missing access codes or slow responses, though interactions with staff were friendly when reached. Overall, expect a no-frills, well-located stop that works best for hiking and south-coast itineraries.

We were the only ones staying there. I guess it was off season. Good service, small rooms. Water tasted funny like fish, maybe due to off season and pipes not used as much. Sauna was under repair. There is a hot tub but not used. Breakfast was not fancy but good enough. Felt bad because they had to make breakfast for just the two of us. There is a restaurant but opens June 1st.

Not only was this our worst stay around the ring road but it might have been our worst stay ever. We stayed for two nights and two days. The location is nice right by the waterfall and a 30 min drive to Vik. However, our heat was broken the first day. We turned it up and hours later we put our hand on the radiator and it was freezing. It kicked on the next day but we were freezing the whole first day. Our tv was also broken, and we contacted the hotel and they never responded. It rained all day and night so not having a working TV was a huge bummer. The seal on the shower door was broken so our whole bathroom flooded and then never dried since it was so cold in our room. The sauna is broken and looks like it has been for awhile due to all the spider webs on the inside. There is free coffee and tea. The room is very small and not optimal if you have a large suitcase. By far our worst stay in Iceland and I would never go back. I contacted Expedia for a partial refund due to all the issues.

This hotel was a great spot to stay when travelling through Iceland’s south coast. At the base of Skógafoss, the hotel has small but functional rooms, and an amazing complimentary breakfast. The hot tub had great views of the surrounding area, while still being private. Parking was conveniently located right outside the hotel. A note to any travellers, there is no fridge here.

Older building but in good condition and very clean. Wonderful coffee maker and breakfast. We did not receive a text or email with our check in information so I had to drive to the hotel next door and check in. Great location. We would stay here again just for the coffee maker. Hot tub was clean. Sauna must be seasonal or out of order but it made a nice place to dry off out of the rain.

Nice, clean hotel driving distance to sightseeing opportunities. Included breakfast was great and a real money saver, as a breakfast like that would be about $30 USD in Iceland at a restaurant. Wish the room had a mini fridge, as we traveled with snacks and drinks due to the cost of eating out in Iceland so that was a let down as other hotels we stayed at provided this amenity. Beds were a little stiff, particularly the twin bed in the room. This is a contactless hotel, you're provided a code to get into the building and your room so no staff onsite for assistance. The breakfast attendant was nice and had the breakfast buffet set up punctually. Very close to the waterfall, beautiful mountain views from our room, and the hot tub was nice.

This was a perfect location for my four-night stay in southern Iceland. The hotel is right off Rte. 1 and is within walking distance of Skogafoss. Vik and Reynisfjara are less than 30 minutes away, through some awesomely spectacular landscapes. A nearby venue (walkable from the hotel) is a curated, three-part museum consisting of historical artifacts; 20th-century technology—each in its own contemporary building; and an outdoor museum of several buildings that were moved here from their original 19th- and 20th-century sites. The tech museum also houses a quality (and good-value) restaurant that operates during museum hours. Hotel staff are friendly, helpful, and always obliging. Breakfasts are served in a spacious dining room with views of adjacent farmland and mountains. My single room had a large bathroom. Amenities include an outdoor hot tub and a sauna. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is self check-in, so it’s very convenient if you dont have a set schedule. There really isn’t much service but I think there is a reception just down the street at a different hotel. I gave it 5 stars for the location, as it is only a short walk away from Skógafoss, kvernufoss and the Skógar museum, so you save parking fees if you plan to go to these places. Facilities are great provided it’s in a rural area, and the hot tub is a nice bonus.

The cabinet above the tiny sink was in the way and can be hazardous to bump someone’s head. And it is hard to use the sink to brush teeth/wash face. It is highly recommended to move the cabinet to the right to make space. It is ok to install the mirror by itself above the sink. This property is basically a simple motel with small room. It seems clean but the drainage emits smell when taking shower. The continental breakfast was adequate with some variety. The seating faux leather was pealing though. The sister hotel nearby looks better and someone was in the service desk and he was very friendly. They may help you if you need something even for this location. I was told they added this dated property when it was for sale. Both hotels are close to one big waterfall. Another one is nearby. This beautiful waterfall is closer to the museum on the side of the cafe.

Sink in the bathroom was tiny and glass shelf right above made teeth brushing difficult. Overall we had a very good experience.

I would rate the property a 2.5. The exterior is very run down. Pulling some weeds and just a fresh coat of paint on the entry way sign would help. The interior is clean but old and worn. The room is small and bathroom even smaller. We stayed last nt at a brand new resort / spa for the same price near the glacier with amazing views. This has been a disappointment for sure. Least favorite of 4 hotels during our 2 wk stay.

Great hotel at a great location! At first we were concerned about the hotel having no staff on premises for check in, but everything went smoothly, we got a password for the doors prior to our arrival and were able to get in with no problems. The room was great overall and with a nice view. The location is amazing, just by two of the best waterfalls we’ve seen on the south coast and also close to great hiking trails. It was the highlight of our trip.

The hotel is self check-in, so it’s very convenient if you dont have a set schedule. There really isn’t much service but I think there is a reception just down the street at a different hotel. I gave it 5 stars for the location, as it is only a short walk away from Skógafoss, kvernufoss and the Skógar museum, so you save parking fees if you plan to go to these places. Facilities are great provided it’s in a rural area, and the hot tub is a nice bonus.

The staff was friendly. We arrived late (but before midnight). I dislike self-service hotels I've never gotten my room without an issue and this was no different. My information was sent to my friend's email but they did not include the code to my door. The phone number we called was not answered. Thankfully a second phone number (located in my friend's room) was found and we were able to get the missing code. The staff was attentive and breakfast was included.

Hôtel de type self-checking in. Très facile d’accès. Propre et bien tenu. À deux pas de la chute de Skógafoss, point de départ de très beaux treks. Nous devions quitter tôt le matin et le personnel nous a préparé des boites à lunch puisque le déjeuner n’était servi qu’à 8:00. Très apprécié! En gros une excellente adresse avec un personnel très sympathique même s’ils ne sont pas sur place, ils sont très faciles à joindre…

Location
Excellent location within easy walking distance of Skógafoss, close to Kvernufoss, the Skógar Museum, and Route 1. Several guests enjoyed views of the falls or even the aurora from the property.

We had a fantastic stay! The hotel offers great value for money, and the staff truly go out of their way to make you feel welcome. My favourite part was the breakfast — served in a beautiful, cozy space, with plenty of delicious and varied options. Another highlight is the location: the hotel is just a short walk from the stunning Skógafoss waterfall. We loved it so much that we visited twice — once in the evening when we arrived, and again the next morning before continuing our journey. Highly recommended for anyone exploring the south of Iceland!

Just a place to stay and convenient to Skógafoss and the Fimm Trail. Clean, comfy beds and pillows. Great view of falls and aurora from windows. Breakfast was acceptable, simple breakfast food and limited offerings. Coffee was available 24/7. Outside needs some cleaning up but we were pleasantly surprised how nice the inside was. I’d stay here again. Can walk to the falls and the restaurant.

This hotel has self check in and check out which we appreciated. It is very close to Skogafoss waterfall. The room was very clean and we were able to capture a photo of the northern lights from outside our room so this seems to be a good location.

The hotel is self check-in, so it’s very convenient if you dont have a set schedule. There really isn’t much service but I think there is a reception just down the street at a different hotel. I gave it 5 stars for the location, as it is only a short walk away from Skógafoss, kvernufoss and the Skógar museum, so you save parking fees if you plan to go to these places. Facilities are great provided it’s in a rural area, and the hot tub is a nice bonus.

Dining
Breakfast is widely praised for quality and variety, with a 24/7 coffee machine appreciated. Some found the selection simple or the 8:00 start late for early departures.

Room was clean. Had only 1 pillow each. Weird tick tick knocking sound which continues off and on all the time.couldnt tell where it was coming from. Loud enough when trying to sleep to annoy some. Terrible smelling sulpher water. Nice coffee machine and a good included breakfast. Near falls and a restaurant.

Nice, clean hotel driving distance to sightseeing opportunities. Included breakfast was great and a real money saver, as a breakfast like that would be about $30 USD in Iceland at a restaurant. Wish the room had a mini fridge, as we traveled with snacks and drinks due to the cost of eating out in Iceland so that was a let down as other hotels we stayed at provided this amenity. Beds were a little stiff, particularly the twin bed in the room. This is a contactless hotel, you're provided a code to get into the building and your room so no staff onsite for assistance. The breakfast attendant was nice and had the breakfast buffet set up punctually. Very close to the waterfall, beautiful mountain views from our room, and the hot tub was nice.

The breakfast is outstanding. Free coffee and tea 24 hours is nice. And complementary chocolates are an unexpected surprise. The location is hard to beat. Just 8 minutes walk to the Skagafoss, and a short drive to several other natural wonders.

Very outdated structure (old scratched bed side tables, broken closet with no doors), old airy windows, noise of the heating system and water tubes the whole night long. There was never real silence. It was not awful but the price we paid was absolutely not worthy, way too high for what we got. Highly disappointing. Also the outside part of the building was not at all taken care of. Ok the self check-in but people would like to see the hotel as somewhere comforting and deluxe (as they like to define themselves on the site), this wasn’t.
